I got into stamping about a year and a half ago, and card making about a year ago. I absolutley adore my stamps from The Greeting Farm, Magnolia, and Sugar Nellie. I wondering what everyone's favorite paper companies are that they use with their favorite stamps?

I work primarily in watercolor and colored pencil. For pencil work I have found Neenah Classic Solar White works the best for me.
Mark's Finest Papers carries an excellent 90lb cold pressed watercolor paper that holds up nicely to the many techniques used in the watercolor medium. They also carry a premium quality of cardstock and designer papers.
I was introduced to Shimmer paper from Clear Artistic Stamps, and that is a very nice weight for adding shine without extra bulk. Hope this helps~
I have only been buying scrapbooking paper for the last 6 months i always have created with stamps and card for many years and been a past full time businessman now only part time i now love CLOSE TO MY HEART I love this companies paper packets which have matching colours and the level 2 paper packet which matches the stamp sets are may favourites ,plus the WORKSHOPS ON THE GO I guess the reason why i like this companies products is because they are affordable and have some quality product.
At the moment the VERANDA Paper is my favourite.
Has we say in the UK they are ACE and you say awsam.
I love basic grey and memory box for designer paper. For card bases I like the textured Bazzill cardstock, although I wish it were a little heavier weight.
For colored cardstock, I go with Stampin Up or Papertrey
For solid cardstock, I use to be a Stampin' Up snob, but recently tried PTI perfect match cardstock and I LOVE it. I can't figure out what took me so long!
For designer paper, I am currently stuck on Graphic 45. I have some GORGEOUS Kaiserkcraft papers that I got from Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply store. It is so pretty that I am going to have an anxiety attack when I cut into it!
There are always new (to me) papers coming up, so I need to find some kind of swap to get some samples
I absolutely LOVE BoBunny paper!!! Also, K&Co puts out a really nice line of paper featuring Amy Butler designs, and Wild Asparagus makes gorgeous paper, too

Gina K's Pure Luxury cardstock is fab! I love the heavyweight for card bases, esp. the white, ivory, and kraft.
Amuse puts out some really nice cardstock, and what I love is that the opposite side of the patterned paper is a smooth creamy white...not too bright, not to yellow. Love their gingham and polka papers!
I'm a sucker for anything Cosmo Cricket and Basic Grey. I've got a hankering for the new October Afternoon papers, too.
I, like Toy, was always a SU snob. However, I recently joined the Mark's Finest Paper team and I am very pleased with the paper. Beautiful colors, good quality!! Sale going on now too.

You should visit Mark's Finest Papers. I love their papers and they have a great selection of stamping embelishments too. Faith is having a sale on Jan 24th. So hurry, there's only a few days left.
Basic Grey is hands down my favorite printed paper. If you are asking about cardstock I love Bazzill, they have the best color selection, you can really match any paper to something from Bazzill, and they offer textured and smooth.
I am frugal by nature, and try not to get "attached" to any specific line. When it comes to pattern paper, I am an "equal opportunity" shopper. If I like how it looks, and the price is right, I buy it. I don't like to pay shipping, so I try to find paper in local stores on sale, or I use a coupon.
I usually make layered cards, and most brands of pattern paper will work for that. If you like the look, I say go for it. You can find paper on sale lots of places - Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Joanne's, even Big Lots on occasion. Some of the Dollar stores have packs of pattern paper that is quite appealing, and it can be used for layering on card fronts.
As far as white cardstock for stamping images and making card bases, I buy Image Plus cardstock at Sam's. You can get 250 sheets of nice quality 110 lb cardstock for about $6. The paper is smooth for stamping and coloring on, and the weight is nice for a card base.
